Select a built tower to upgrade it through three forms. Compare the next form’s price and stats. Upgrade useful positions before spreading your gold across more towers.
Build for the next enemy
Arrow focuses targets. Cannon breaks ground crowds. Storm chains through flyers. Snow buys time, while Poison bypasses armor and stops troll healing. Inspect the next wave before spending.
The rules of the defense
Waves & the clock
The first wave starts after 30 seconds. Later waves arrive every 60 seconds, even if enemies remain. Send a wave early when ready; early sending gives no extra gold. Commanders arrive in waves 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50.
Gold, upgrades & targeting
Kills and cleared waves earn gold. Every tower has three forms. Selling returns 70% of its total investment. Choose First, Last, Strongest or Fastest as its target priority. Plague defaults to Strongest and channels a continuous beam.
Armor, venom & slow immunity
Cannon pierces most armor, but cannot hit flying creatures or ethereal wraiths. Venom ignores armor and stops troll healing; undead and stone constructs are immune to it. Berserkers, frost giants and Netherguard ignore slows. Stone creatures resist slowing, while Infernos and phoenixes take extra ice damage. Creature details list each unit’s defenses and counters.
The Palace & winning
The Palace starts with 30 health. Enemies that arrive keep attacking until defeated, so survivors need attention. Clear all fifty waves and defeat the Ancient Red Dragon to win.
